Voice & Messaging defines how RogIQ writes for you — the tone, personality, and key ideas that should come through in every piece of AI-generated content. It's the highest-leverage thing you can configure to improve output quality.
Navigate to: Brand IQ → Voice & Messaging
Only Owners and Admins can edit Voice & Messaging. Editors and Viewers can read it but cannot make changes.
The AI Preview Panel
The right sidebar shows a live AI Preview that updates as you fill in your Voice & Messaging settings. It generates:
Headline — a sample content headline in your brand voice
Intro Sentence — a sample opening line
SEO Preview — a sample Title Tag and Meta Description
Use this to immediately see how your settings affect AI output, without having to generate a full piece of content. If the preview doesn't sound like you, refine your settings until it does.
What to Configure
Brand Promise
One sentence that captures your core value. This is the north star statement the AI keeps in mind when writing for you.
Example: "RogIQ is the AI Marketing Operating System that gives small teams enterprise-level marketing capabilities — without the enterprise budget, complexity, or learning curve."
Keep it specific and differentiated. Avoid generic statements like "we deliver quality results."
Key Messages
The 2–8 core ideas you want consistently woven into your content. These are your brand's drumbeats — the things you say repeatedly because they're true and they matter.
The page shows how many messages you have and recommends 2–8. Click + Add key message to add more.
Examples:
"Your marketing team shouldn't have to choose between running the business and marketing it."
"AI content generators make every company sound identical. RogIQ trains on your brand voice and context."
"Stop paying agencies $30K–$50K for marketing strategies that take weeks to build."
Tone of Voice
Descriptors that tell the AI how your brand communicates — professional, conversational, bold, empathetic, witty, educational. Select all that apply.
Style Guidelines
Specific rules the AI follows when writing for you:
"Always use first-person plural (we, our)"
"Never use the word 'utilize' — use 'use' instead"
"End blog posts with a question that invites reflection"
"Always include a CTA in the final paragraph"
Writing Examples
The single most powerful input in this entire section. Paste in 2–3 real pieces of your best existing content. The AI learns your vocabulary, rhythm, and personality from these examples.
Add at least one blog excerpt, one social post, and one email intro. Even 2–3 strong examples dramatically improve output quality. The AI Preview will immediately reflect the improvement.

How Voice & Messaging Affects Output
Every time you generate content, the AI reads your Voice & Messaging profile alongside your Company Identity and the specific topic requested. The three inputs work together:

My AI content still sounds generic. What should I do?
The most common cause is missing writing examples. Go to Voice & Messaging and add 2–3 specific, on-brand examples. Also check that your Company Summary in Company Identity is detailed and specific — vague descriptions produce vague content. Use the AI Preview panel to see improvement in real time as you add examples.
How many key messages should I have?
2–8 is recommended. More than 8 can dilute focus. Start with the 3–5 things you most want every reader to understand about your brand, then add more as needed.
What's the difference between Key Messages and Style Guidelines?
Key Messages are what you say — the ideas and claims you want reinforced in content. Style Guidelines are how you say it — the rules around tone, grammar, structure, and word choice. Both matter and work together.
Do changes affect existing content?
No. Changes only affect content generated after you save. Existing drafts and published content are not affected.
